Short description:
More and more libraries, archives, and museums are creating online collections of digitized resources. Where can those charged with organizing these new collections turn for guidance on the actual practice of metadata design and creation? Fully revised and updated, this comprehensive resource provides guidance for readers to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to develop and manage metadata for digital collections.
MoreLong description:
Since it was first published, LIS students and professionals everywhere
have relied on Miller?s authoritative manual for clear instruction on the
real-world practice of metadata design and creation. Now the author has given
his text a top-to-bottom overhaul to bring it fully up-to-date, making it even
easier for readers to acquire the knowledge and skills they need, whether they
use the book on the job or in a classroom. By following this book?s guidance,
with its inclusion of numerous practical examples that clarify common
application issues and challenges, readers will:
- learn
about the concept of metadata and its functions for digital collections,
why it?s essential to approach metadata specifically as data for machine
processing, and how metadata can work in the rapidly developing Linked
Data environment - know
how to create high-quality resource descriptions using widely shared
metadata standards, vocabularies and elements commonly needed for digital
collections - become
thoroughly familiarized with Dublin Core (DC) through exploration of DCMI
Metadata Terms, CONTENTdm best practices, and DC as Linked Data - discover
what Linked Data is, how it is expressed in the Resource Description
Framework (RDF), and how it works in relation to specific semantic models
(typically called ?ontologies?) such as BIBFRAME, comprised of properties
and classes with ?domain? and ?range? specifications - get to
know the MODS and VRA Core metadata schemes, along with recent
developments related to their use in a Linked Data setting - understand
the nuts and bolts of designing and documenting a metadata scheme and - gain
knowledge of vital metadata interoperability and quality issues, including
how to identify and clean inconsistent, missing, and messy metadata using
innovative tools such as OpenRefine.
Complete with an updated bibliography pointing readers to essential
books, articles and web documents for deeper learning, this second edition will
prove itself a must-have reference for practitioners and students alike.
